The Shadow of Your Smile by maggiemae

The Shadow of Your Smile

It’s not as sad as these words seem and are so beautiful….. photographs can summon the happy memories!

This is a shot I found taken 15years ago when we were celebrating John’s 70’th birthday

Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
we can see that you were a looker when you were a younger woman, maggiemae. you still are!

@happypat My eyes are all hooded now, Pat and there is a double chin hiding in there too!

@maggiemae well same here Maggie, had to use the lens blur in my yesterdays shot. As long as we are healthy though never mind if we’re going off a bit!

@happypat Very true - and careful how we go - no injuries!
